Conventional quick couplings:
■
Used always when fitting the compressor behind the loader.
■
Alternative couplings for some loader models.
Before connecting or disconnecting the standard quick couplings, the residual pressure must be released as
shown below. The conventional quick couplings will not connect, if there is pressure in the hydraulic system.
To connect and disconnect the standard couplings, move the collar at the
end of the female fitting. The hoses should be connected so that the
fitting equipped with a coloured cap is connected to the corresponding
fitting of the loader. Note that the protective caps on the loader and the
attachment can be fastened to each other during operation to reduce the
accumulation of dirt. When disconnecting the standard quick couplings a
small amount of oil may drip from the couplings. Wear protective gloves
and have some cloth at hand to keep the equipment clean.
Make sure that both quick coupling fittings are properly connected, otherwise
the hydraulic motor of the attachment may get damaged.
Releasing residual hydraulic pressure:
To make sure that there will not be residual pressure in the hydraulic system of the attachment, shut down
the loader engine and move the auxiliary hydraulics control lever of the loader to it’s extreme positions
before disconnecting the couplings. If the fittings will not connect to the loader, the residual pressure must be
released. The residual pressure must be released before handling the rotating components of the
attachment and before storage of the attachment.

Uncoupling and storage of the compressor
The compressor must be stored in upright position. Avoid storing the attachment directly against the ground,
place a pallet or blocks of wood under it, for example. Protect the compressor from rain. When storing the
compressor, empty the air reservoir and drain all condensed water from it as shown in Chapter 6.4. Also,
read instructions concerning maintenance and service from Chapter 7.
When uncoupling the attachment from the loader, always disconnect the
hydraulic fittings first before unlocking the quick attach plate, to prevent hose
damage and any oil spills. Reinstall the protective caps on the fittings to
prevent dirt from entering the hydraulic system.
Avoid storing the attachment directly on the ground for long periods to avoid
rust damage. Protect compressor from rain. Service the compressor as shown
in chapter 7.
